Simmons Whitetail Classic 1.5-5x20

[gduk1]

I had one of these scopes they really are a peach! I only had one issue..it did not go up to six mag, very very clear light weight, I have a review of this 'Whitetail' range, the guy puts it in the freezer and straps it to his sky aerial for a few days and it worked perfectly!(Airgun World Aug 94) Why does everyone bang on about the one they sell is the 'Philippines' made version ie real they were all made in the Philippines....I have never ever seen a copy/fake, has anyone???

Yeh, there were plenty of fakes about in the nineties, but they do say that is the best form of flattery these really are a good scope though, I had one on a r7 which I kept on the top shelf on my van, the strap broke and the rifle done a 5' swan dive which bent the objective metal when I tested for zero it took two clicks of elevation to rectify testament to the proper whitetail and also theobens.
Ps, if I saw one up for 35 quid nowadays the fella would loose an arm
